After 1 hour, remove the 4 chicken thighs and the onion and set aside.

Step 5

Stain the liquid through a sieve or a fine strainer into another pot or bowl.

Step 6

Rinse out the original pot and pour the reserved liquid back into this pot after you have strained it

Step 7

Remove the skin and bone from the chicken thighs and break up the meat into bite sized pieces.

Step 8

Add to the pot the chicken meat, the 2nd onion, carrots and the parsnips

Step 9

Bring to a boil again and simmer for 45 minutes to a hour, until the carrots and parsnips are tender

Step 10

Add the Chick Soup Base Powder to the pot 1/4 cup at a time, more if required for a salty flavor, then simmer for another 15 minutes to 1/2 hour more. Add any extra soup base a little at a time, (YOU DON'T WANT IT TOO SALTY.)
